When handing in the paper this time, the candidates obviously no longer had the joy of yesterday and walked out with heavy expressions. Today's countermeasures were too remote, which was really beyond the expectations of the candidates.

But if it is remote and a little unfair, this question is very down-to-earth and is almost a common conflict in the village. It is easy to resolve this conflict in a reasonable manner, but it has to be solved by law, which has caused countless candidates to be blinded.

If you have not memorized the "Song Zhengtong", candidates will not be able to know the corresponding legal terms.

The candidates waiting outside the gate no longer laughed, and they all looked solemn. At this time, Su Liang walked out in a hurry.

He tried his best to hide his excitement and acted as solemnly as other candidates.

But his actions betrayed his mood. When he saw Fanning, he could no longer help but give Fanning an excited hug.

Fanning pushed him away with disgust, "Go aside, I feel so disgusting, I feel so tired that I feel so hugged that I have goose bumps all over my body."

Su Liang ignored it and grabbed his arm and asked excitedly: "Tell me the truth, how could you know you want to take the exam of "Song Xingtong"?"

Su Liang had already firmly believed that Fan Ning knew the test questions in advance, otherwise he would not have forced himself to recite the "Song Zhengtong" in such a way, and he memorized the terms related to property and contracts.

This time he wouldn't want to lie to himself again.

Fan Ning smiled faintly, "It seems you did a good job in the exam!"

Su Liang nodded, "I have memorized all the relevant legal provisions."

"Then let me ask you, how did you answer the county magistrate's verdict?"

"Of course it is unreasonable and legal. The forest land has been reclaimed for more than ten years. The "Song Zhengtong" clearly stipulates that ownership belongs to Wang Sheng, and Wang Sheng can be transferred. As for the country contract, it doesn't matter whether there are intermediaries or teeth. As long as it is true and valid, it's fine. So I denied the verdict of the county magistrate."

Fanning smiled and nodded, "I am the same. I think the county magistrate's judgment is wrong. Let's answer the same, let's have a drink."

"Wait, don't interrupt me, you haven't answered my question just now?"

"This is not a place to talk, let's talk about it when we go back to the city."

The two of them squeezed into a ox cart back to the city and came to Zhulou again. As soon as they walked into the gate, the shopkeeper came out and smiled and said, "I guessed that Mr. Fan was coming, so I left a table by the window on the second floor."

Seeing that the diners in the lobby were full of diners, all the scholars who rushed back to the city, Fan Ning was moved and hurriedly bowed to the shopkeeper, "Thank you for your arrangement!"

"You're welcome, please, please!"

Fan Ning and Su Liang went up to the second floor and saw that there was indeed an empty seat in the corner.

"Please sit here, little official!"

The shopkeeper asked Fan Ning to sit down, and arranged for a bartender to come forward to order food, so he hurried downstairs. He was too busy to stop for a moment.

Fan Ning also wanted to ask about his situation yesterday, but the shopkeeper actually left and had to swallow the questions back into his stomach.

Su Liang ordered five or six dishes, ordered another pot of sake, and waited for the bartender to serve tea, and then he asked anxiously, "What's going on? How do you know the question?"

Fan Ning wanted to cut off this guy's neck. Since he had taken advantage, don't ask, but he had to ask what was going on.

In fact, Fan Ning was also very clear about the consequences of leaking the imperial examination questions. He always wanted to use an extremely secretive means to achieve it. For example, he designed a review plan for several junior brothers. As long as he strictly followed the review plan he designed, they would feel familiar with the new imperial examination questions, but they would never expect that they had broken the content of the imperial examination questions into the review plan.

But Su Liang was too hasty and had to force him to review "Song Xingtong", which led to him guessing that he knew the imperial examination questions.

This problem was too difficult. Fan Ning pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Actually, it was the emperor who leaked it to me in person."

Su Liang's eyes widened suddenly, and he was confused when he heard it. The emperor leaked it himself. What's going on?

But seeing Fanning's appearance didn't seem to be joking, he hurriedly asked, "What does it mean?"

"Didn't Feng Jing tell you yesterday? Three years ago, I had a fight with Zhang Yaozuo's grandson in Pangji's mansion and was in front of the emperor."

Su Liang nodded, "He said it, but he didn't say it in front of the emperor."

"It was the emperor who gave the questions to test Zhang Chun and me, but I won Zhang Chun completely. The emperor was in a good mood and asked me if I would take the boy exam in three years. I said I would definitely participate. He asked me to read more of the "Song Xingtong" and there will be benefits during the imperial examination."

Fan Ning was half true and half false nonsense, but this lie could not be exposed, but he still gave Su Liang an answer. As for whether Su Liang could accept it, he would ignore it.

Su Liang opened his mouth wide and it took him a long time to close it. He felt it was incredible.

"Is this true? The emperor was ready for the test three years ago?"

Fan Ning smiled faintly, "He is the emperor and the dragon among people. His ideas are not something we can understand. We only consider today or tomorrow. But he is considering the imperial examination questions a hundred years after the Song Dynasty. The imperial examination questions are a reflection of his thoughts on governing the country. Maybe he has already thought about all the imperial examination questions twenty years later."

It makes sense for Su Liang to think about it. Perhaps it was because the emperor wanted to implement the "Song Zhengtong" among county officials, so that today's imperial examination questions were found. This is a reflection of his governing ideas.

Su Liang lowered his voice and said, "It's so hard to believe that the emperor actually leaked the imperial examination questions to you three years ago."

"Then you said, what other channels do I have to know about the imperial examination questions?"

"Yes, I wondered if it was leaked to you by Senior Ouyang. Later, after thinking about it, he only found out about the problem this morning. No one except the emperor knew about it in advance."

Seeing that the fooling was successful, Fan Ning smiled and nodded, "Actually, I'm not sure, but what if it's true? So I would rather work harder than lose this opportunity."

Su Liang thought, "It makes sense. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something!"

Fanning lowered his voice again, "Only you and I know about this matter, and it cannot be spread."

Su Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'm not a fool, but I'm a little worried about Li Dashou. Didn't you ask him to review "Song Xingtong" as well?"

Fan Ning shook his head, "He didn't read the book I wanted him to read at all, and there were no traces of the "Song Xingtong" that I had read, so I didn't tell him some details, which he could not have imagined."

"What details didn't tell Li Dashou?" A familiar girl's voice suddenly came from behind.

Fan Ning quickly turned around and saw a young scholar standing beside him, wearing a square gauze hat, a white scholar suit, a brocade belt, and leather boots. He had red lips and white teeth, and was extremely handsome. His pretty eyes were filled with autumn water, which was Zhu Pei.

This was the first time Fanning saw Zhu Pei wearing men's clothing when he grew up, and he was stunned for a moment.

Jupei was immediately unhappy and said, "You haven't seen me for only a month, so you don't know me?"

"No! No! I haven't seen you wear men's clothes for a long time."

"That's right!"

Zhu Pei thought that she rarely wore men's clothing in the past two years, and it was normal for Fanning to be stunned for a moment. She turned anger into joy and dragged a chair to sit down. Fanning quickly got up, gave her the seat beside her window, and sat down by herself.

This considerate action made Zhu Pei smile in her eyes. She picked up the wine pot and filled a glass of wine for Fan Ning. Su Liang on the opposite side couldn't help but say, "Zhu Pei, my wine glass is empty."

Zhu Pei pushed the wine pot to him and said bluntly: "There are only two people who can let my yamen pour wine at present, and you are not among them yet."

"Hmph!"

Su Liang had no choice but to drink by himself. He asked curiously: "Who is the other one?"

"Of course it's my grandfather. As for Fan A-Dai, he made this yamen runner make money, so for the sake of the money, I'll pour him wine!"

Zhu Pei spoke proudly, but Fanning rolled her eyes when she heard it. She said that she was so philanthropic, and all the beautiful things were destroyed by her.

"Where is Sister Jian?"

Fan Ning didn't want to listen anymore. He quickly looked back and saw Jian Meizi sitting on a seat next to the stairs. Several scholars at the deskmate were originally very happy, but now they were silent. From time to time, they secretly looked at a one-meter-long sword placed on the table.

"Forget it, I won't say anything disappointing, and talk about the main topic. How did you do in the exam?" Zhu Pei looked at Fan Ning with pretty eyes.

“It feels pretty good!”

Fan Ning smiled and said, "It is estimated that 80,000 of the 100,000 candidates feel that they are doing well in the exam."

"not necessarily!"

Su Liang murmured from the side, "Yesterday was almost the same. After the exam today, most of the candidates came out with a sad face, and few people dared to say that they were doing well in the exam."

"It seems that you did a good job in the exam. I have read the countermeasures questions today. It is really not easy to answer this question well. Unless you have taken the exam in advance and memorized the "Song Xingtong", it is difficult to say that you did a good job in the exam."

Zhu Pei is extremely smart and pointed out Fanning's background to the point.
